"There is only one way and that is your way; there is only one salvation and

that is your salvation......What is to come will be created in you and from you.

Hence look into yourself.  Do not compare, do not measure.  No other way is

like yours.  All other ways deceive and tempt you.  You must fulfill the way

that is in you."  [The Red Book, p. 130]

The celebrations of Carl Gustav Jung’s 150th birthday (happening all over the world this year) echo the lasting power of his ideas and perhaps the growing need for his psychology. Jung was one of the most fearless, original, and irreverent thinkers of the past two centuries. His psychology boldly challenges the dominant scientific and reductionist view of life by reintroducing the notions of soul and mystery into our understanding of the human experience. In a world increasingly shaped by materialism and hyper-technology, Jungian psychology stands as a small but steadfast island—a place of refuge for the curious, the contemplative, and for those called to deeper meaning.

“The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it.”

C. G. Jung

Art: "Maria"- Carl Strathmann

“Life really does begin at forty. Up until then, you are just doing research.”

"The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it."

The time is a critical one, for it marks the beginning of the second half of life, when a metanoia, a mental transformation, not infrequently occurs.

Carl Gustav Jung, Symbols of Transformation (Collected Works 5)

"Younger people, who have not yet reached the middle of life (around the age of 35), can bear even the total loss of the anima without injury. The important thing at this stage is for a man to be a man. The growing youth must be able to free himself from the anima fascination of his mother." (p. 71)

"After the middle of life, however, permanent loss of the anima means a diminution of vitality, of flexibility, and of human kindness. The result, as a rule, is premature rigidity, crustiness, stereotypy, fanatical one-sidedness, obstinacy, pedantry, or else resignation, weariness, sloppiness, irresponsibility, and finally a childish ramollissement with a tendency to alcohol." (p. 71)

The distance from the heart to the head is sometimes 30 years, sometimes a whole lifetime :
"We say, “You know it in the head, but you don’t know it in the heart.” There is an extraordinary distance from the head to the heart, a distance of ten, twenty, thirty years, or a whole lifetime."

Life isn’t handed to us like an opera libretto: It is an adventure into which we must throw ourselves. Failures cannot hold us back if we have fire in our hearts. We must allow ourselves to encounter life and God.

"The figure of the wise old man can appear so plastically, not only in dreams but also in visionary meditation (or what we call “active imagination”), that, as is sometimes apparently the case in India, it takes over the role of a guru. The wise old man appears in dreams in the guise of a magician, doctor, priest, teacher, professor, grandfather, or any other person possessing authority.

The archetype of spirit in the shape of a man, hobgoblin, or animal always appears in a situation where insight, understanding, good advice, determination, planning, etc., are needed but cannot be mustered on one’s own resources. The archetype compensates this state of spiritual deficiency by contents designed to fill the gap."
Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious Paragraph 388

So true, unless we awaken to that reality and change our course, which I believe it is happening, even as I write this!

"Civilized man...is in danger of losing all contact with the world of instinct -- a danger that is still further increased by his living an urban existence in what seems to be a purely man-made environment. This loss of instinct is largely responsible for the pathological condition of contemporary culture."

~ C.G. Jung

“My language is German. My culture, my attainments are German. I considered myself German intellectually, until I noticed the growth of anti-Semitic prejudice in Germany and German-Austria. Since that time, I consider myself no longer a German. I prefer to call myself a Jew.”

~ Sigmund Freud
Interview, (1926)

Sigmund Freud with his sons Ernst and Martin who served in the Austro-Hungarian Army in WWI. (c. 1914).
